My favorite of the Lytle-Barnett Sparklers that I tasted. The nose is an explosion of aromas – raspberry, ripe white peach, blanched almonds, and freshly baked croissant jump from the glass after a few minutes of letting the mousse settle. Round and structured on the palate with flavors of fresh wild strawberries, yellow nectarine, and some toasted hazelnuts. A precise and elegant sparkling wine that should age for 15 years or more. This is a perfect example of what Oregon can do with sparkling wine made in the traditional method. Enjoy it with some beef carpaccio or salmon sushi. Only 180 cases produced.
